FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 17, 2010 -- Keira can put her frock away. So can Julia and Cate and Jodie. And George won't be needing his tuxedo. The Golden Globes, second-ranking ceremony of the film awards season, will not take place on Sunday thanks to the Hollywood writers' strike.

Instead, a press conference will announce the roll call of winners, and the TV cameras will then have to move off in search of the various Golden Globes parties in Hollywood in an effort to track down the winners.

The decision by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the obscure body which runs the Globes, and the broadcaster NBC represents the biggest casualty so far in the 10-week strike by the Writers Guild of America. "We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year, and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favorite stars celebrating 2007's outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television," said Jorge Camara, president of the association. The cancellation will be a disappointment for British nominees such as James McAvoy, Keira Knightley, Julie Christie and Helena Bonham-Carter.

After the Oscars and the Grammys, the Golden Globes is the third-most watched awards ceremony on US television, attracting 20m viewers last year.

Knightley and McAvoy will have to console themselves with the 17 nominations their film, Atonement, received from the British Bafta awards yesterday.
